| Bottom Line: |
This site is definitely NOT for the faint-hearted for three reasons: first, this is probably among the most intense BDSM sites available today, second, the price has to make it one of the most expensive porn memberships today, and third, some of the newest scenes come in at over 3GB in size.
If you like BDSM and are familiar with the Kink.com sites, then think of this as a mashup of Device Bondage and Sex and Submission with the ‘nasty’ factor turned up. The site uses a lot of innovative bondage tools and devices, many of which appear to be made rather than bought. Each scene is between 30 minutes and an hour long and has several ‘chapters’ where the bondage is changed. (Like other BDSM sites, the scenes also include an interview where the model makes it clear that she consents and can stop the scene.) Most of the scenes occur indoors in a dungeon setting, though there are also some scenes shot outdoors. Production values are very good. Many, but still a minority of the scenes, feature some kind of sex act, either oral or vaginal. There is some anal play, but I’ve yet to find a scene with anal intercourse. Since the site is about BDSM I accept that the sex is secondary.
The site has a mix of mainstream models who dabble in fetish stuff (Sasha Knox and Hailey Young, for example) and models who specialize in fetish scenes (Wenona, for example). The models are all under 25, most are petite and with very few exceptions all are Caucasian. One good sign as to how the site treats the models is that there are several who make repeat visits to get abused.
The site currently has 290 scenes available with one new scene being added weekly. As should be expected, the oldest scenes (uploaded in 2006) don’t have the same video quality as the newer scenes. Most scenes have download options for resolution and a few offer different file types too. The most common file type is mp4 though a lot of the older files that say they’re mp4 come in as .rm. The newest uploads have two options for resolutions. I went with the highest which is 1280x720, 7500kb/s and 23fps. An issue that many may have is the file size, which with some of the newer uploads can exceed 3GB. That’s a lot of data if your ISP imposes a limit. The lower resolution is intended for mobile devices and comes in at 480x270, 1400kb/s and 23fps. The obvious problem with this is that there is a wide chasm between the two sizes that really should be bridged with a third option.
Photos are also available as zips but not as singles. New photos are 1200x785 while the older ones are obviously smaller.
Site layout is simple but effective. It looks and functions a lot like a Kink.com site if you’re familiar with them. You can either have a ‘full’ or ‘brief’ view of the scenes on the page and selecting a scene opens a page where you can stream or download the scene and download the photos. There is also a fairly detailed description of each scene which is useful.
The site allows download managers and doesn’t appear to have any download limits. Download speeds were good.
Logging in requires the username and password be entered each time as well as a two-word captcha. I found one of those ‘words’ was always easy to read, but the second was much more difficult and often caused me to fail to enter it properly. When that happens you go back for a second try but you need to enter your username and password again.
The 800lb gorilla in the room is whether the site is worth the $65 price. Part of me says that it is because the production costs here have to be much higher than a more usual hardcore site. With the more mainstream site you hire a woman and a man and pull out an old leather couch and you can make a porno. No so here. I’m guessing that the models here get paid a premium to do this work and the bondage equipment can't be cheap to buy or make. So in that sense, it might be worth the exceptionally high price. Arguing against the high price is that other BDSM sites must have similar costs and can manage a more reasonable price. Sites like Kink probably have better economies of scale, but this site can’t justify a price that’s double what the competitors are charging. Also, this site has some ‘sister’ sites (Sexually Broken, for example) which appear to use many of the same models, sets and equipment but charge less than half what this site charges.
I know this is a personal thing for me that others don’t share, and I didn’t include this as a con or include it in the score, but I really wish fetish sites put up more behind-the-scenes videos. With so many of the bondage setups used on this site being innovative I’d like to see some of the technical bits of getting the model into them.
If you’re into BDSM that pushes the limits and can justify spending the money, this is site that is worth a visit. With the price as high as it is though, this won’t be a site that I join once in a while to get updates. |

| Pros: |
-Almost 350 scenes to date. The site has been running since 2007
-Very high quality company in general, they seem to be the good guys in porn if you can look past that one non voluntary bruising of a model case that was reported a while back
-Armory in San Francisco proveides for a great site to shoot this kind of material
-Very high production and innovative bdsm ideas
-Great selection and variety of models
-Good amount of hardcore sex included
-Makes a creative mix of the different niches on various Kink sites |
| Cons: |
-Scenes are sort of splitted into "days". That means you get usually 3-4 updates from the same model in similar settings. However the are full length each so this might turn out to be pro when you particularly like the model in question
-Humiliating, slave training, doing chores and so on might not be to everyones tastes even if they are generally into bdsm niche. Often a bit too non sexual in my opinion
-Always the same with Kink: No kind of network subscription or ability to mix between sites available
-Dedicated photo sessions would be nice touch but obviously they'd require lot of extra effort
-On the pricier side when it comes to cost per update |
| Bottom Line: |
The Training of O is a themed site on Kink.com network that focuses on slave training. The material is divided into "training days" of each individual slave trainee where they are tested for different skills like pain tolerance, anal
sex, cleaning the toilet and what not. Usually there is up to four days of each slave's training. Occassionally they throw in an auditioning scene where they are selecting candidates fo their training that are made to look like slave market of some sort. In the end of the training they might be presented to the master of the Armory in their "Upper Floor" setting.
There is lot of role playing and acting involved. Scenes or days may start with the slave waking up with some kind of diary writing, instruction or grade giving and such activity that is nice touch for those who really can get into make believe. Personally I'm more int the actual sex in this scenes so there is quite much overhead in these videos.
When you look past the make believe, you'll find that this site is quite nice mix of much of the non gay niches found on this network in general. There are scenes that look like Hogtied or Device Bondage with some Sex And Submission thrown in. The only difference is that especially lately the penetrating male performer tends to be a gimp kind of guy, usually in bondage himself too and wearing some full body latex suit. Lots of whipping, caning, forced bj's too. Fetishwear, stocks, wooden boxes over the girls's heads, you name it, they probably got it.
The site and it's functionality really doesn't need another round of praise from me. It all works flawlessly and smoothly with download speeds exceeding what most can get through their broadbands. DL managers work fine. Photos are zipped but as with other sites here, the photos are more like a side product taken during shooting video. The sites are not really cheap if you consider the once a week update rate but you can always sign in and wait for a 19,99$ rebate. Higly recommendable site, especially for the variety. |

| Pros: |
* Interesting and original themes and some good fetish ones: Berlin Public Bangers (outdoors), Fitness Fuck (Gym), Spin to Swing (Swingers), Ass Bangers' Ball, Nylon Feet Doll, Rubber Penetration
* Good variety of German por nstars that you will not find on other websites |
| Cons: |
* Poor-quality videos, only 2K bitrate
* Download mangers don't work: you can only download one video at a time
* Server has throttled the download speed to something ridiculously slow: only about 200 to 300kb
* Download limit, which is not advertised and it's quite a modest allowance; I calculated about 4GB per day
* Customer service - what's that? |
| Bottom Line: |
Burning ticket is the website name for the studio Inflagranti and I have some of their DVDs, which are excellent quality. This is a German studio and when you think of German, you usually think of good quality (such as German cars, engineering). Well, forget that here. Unfortunately the owners of this website seem to have gone to quite some length to make this an unpleasant experience.
Inflagranti's DVDs are of high quality, being crystal clear images but it appears that for the website they have downgraded the DVDs to a very low standard: 2000K. The scenes are not very clear and Ass Bangers' Ball and Gangbang Arena are quite bad because of the poor lighting.
However, it doesn't stop there. When downloading a scene, you cannot do anything else on the website: the server locks you out. So, I used my download manager to download at a later time and in the meantime cherry-picked what I wanted to see.
The server has throttled the download speed to a mere 200 to 300Kb and even though the file sizes are quite small (200-300MB due to the poor quality), it still takes about 20-30 minutes to download a scene.
But wait, there's more to add to the customer experience! There is a download limit that's not advertised on their website, which I think is quite despicable. After hitting about 4GB, I kept getting a server error message that my session had timed out. I sent a message to the webmaster - but no reply. I noticed that if you wait after 24 or 48 hours, you can download again.
This is the second time that I have joined this site: the first time was about 4 years' ago and now I remember why I said that I would never join this site after my first experience. I do seem to remember receiving an email from the webmaster the first time when I hit the download limit and the reply confirmed that there was a limit but I can't remember what the exact limit was.
Unfortunately it is difficult to recommend this site because of the quality and technical issues, which in my opinion are a real drawback for this site. Inflagranti do some really good stuff but this is not one of them. I can't help but feel that the website is there simply to point you in the direction of buying their DVDs, where the studio makes better money with better quality scenes. |

*Newbie reviews and ratings don't count toward a site's overall score/rank until the user reaches the Rookie status level (5 points). This rule is needed to help prevent fake (or heavily biased) profiles and reviews.
